The function of articular cartilage depends on its structure and composition, sensitively
impaired in disease (eg osteoarthritis, OA). Responses of chondrocytes to tissue loading are …

Human lumbar motion segment is composed of various components with distinct
contributions to its gross mechanical response. By employing experimental and …

Capturing patient-or condition-specific intervertebral disk (IVD) properties in finite element
models is outmost important in order to explore how biomechanical and biophysical …

Data from two experimental studies with eight specimens each of spinal motion segments
and/or intervertebral discs are presented in a form that can be used for comparison with …

The intervertebral disc exhibits complex mechanics due to its heterogeneous structure,
inherent viscoelasticity, and interstitial fluid-matrix interactions. Sufficient fluid flow into the …

Understanding the effect of impact loading on the mechanical response of the intervertebral
disc (IVD) is valuable for investigating injury mechanisms and devising effective therapeutic …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between vertebral endplate
morphology and the degree of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration via magnetic …

Degenerative changes in the lumbar spine significantly reduce the quality of life of people. In
order to fully understand the biomechanics of the affected spine, it is crucial to consider the …
